The coat of arms of Lipovljani is: "Or a linden leaf issuant from a wall masoned and embattled gules in base".
The linden leaf makes the arms canting (lipa, "a linden tree").
The wall represents the medieval fort of Kraljeva Velika. Erected in the 13th century by Peter Veliković, the fort was known as Velica Regalis. It changed owners, mostly always important historical figures, througout the 15th and 16th century, as an important strategic place.
